"... from bait dog to cuddle buddy." How could those words (Happy Tail: A Bull Mastiff goes from bait dog to cuddle buddy) not grab the attention of a dog lover? This is the story of Tank, a Bull Mastiff living a dreadful existence, a bait dog who was either "working" or chained up. What does it tell you that the best thing that ever happened to Tank was that his owners moved away and left him?
When a local shelter took Tank in, he was 35-40-lbs. underweight. And needless to say, the public isn't lining up to adopt beat-up Bull Mastiffs. When Tank's time was up, he was rescued by Love Me, But Left Me Animal Rescue. Karissa Christopher of Harrison, AR saw Tank's listing on Petfinder and immediately fell in love.
"Once home," Karissa says, "he was shy, but with time, he came around. We have had him for 10 months and he has gained 55 pounds (making his weight 155 lbs.). He loves to lie around the house, play tug of war, and swim. He is the ultimate survivor."
The shelters are full of "diamonds in the rough." Don't pity the shelter dog. Adopt him.
"The Best Cuddle Buddy in the World"
